89. KAUEIGH: TUESDAY. MAY 12. 1863. Death of Geo.

T. J. Jackson. Stonewall Jackson is dead! Thus announcement trill occasion profound sorrow'throughout the Confederate He expired at Guinea Station on Sundny thelOtb, from the combined effects of his wounds and an attack of pneumonia. The death of no other citizen of the Confederate States would have caused as deep grief.

The loss which the cause has suffered by his removal from world, cannot be overstated. From the be ginning of the war he has been a light, always flaming onward "to victory. Indomitable, indefctf-gable, patient, prompt to strike, full of resources, never at fanlt, he was absolutely invaluable to the cause. He was the foremost fijhling man of the continent. In the last great conflict it was Aw movement, breaking through and assailing the enemy in rear, which led to victory.

No man possessed in fuller measure, or more deservedly, the confidence of the government, the army, and the people. lie was a Christian soldier and patriot Whatever jnav be the result of the contest in which he lost kme wiu endure. Foreign pations, and even the generous among his enemies in the United States, will accord to him sincerity and singleness of purpose, unsullied personal integrity, and very high qualities as a -General. And if it should be the will of God to give independence to hi3 country, iis name will be mentioned and honored, and his example will be held up as among the noblest of ancient or modern limes, wheresoever and as long as that independence shall be celebrated in speech or song. "There sa tear for all who die, A mourner o'er the liumblest grave But nations swell the funiral And Triumph weeps above the, The Victory at Fredericksburg.

We publish to-day copious accounts of the great victory recently achieved by the Confederates at Fredericksburg Thestruggle consisted of three heavy battles Th first at Wilderness Church on Saturday, May 2 the second at Chancellorsville on Saturday, May 3d and the third near Fredo-ricksburg on Monday, May 4th. In the languago of the Richmond Sentinel These combined victories constitute a grand neem, which must yield us mot important fruits. It will add immensely to the lustre of our arms. It will heighten and confirm that admiration for the skill and prowess and unUinctung neroism oi our officers soldiers, which has caused the whole world to do them homage. It will conciliate the sympathy and command the respect of men everywhere," for our country and its people." List of Casualties.

9 We publish to-day a list of casualties in the Hib N. C. troops. It will be seen that this regiment suffered severely. Nine tenths of the two companies from this City and were either killed or wounded.

CoL E. G. Haywood, of the 7th, and Lieutenants T. S. Lemay and John S.

Bryan, reached this City Monday morning. We are glad to learn that their -wounds are not serious. We learn that the wounds of CoL W. R. Co are more serious than at first supposed.

He was wounded in three or four places, we trust not dangerously. Col. Bryan Grimes, of the 4th, was slightly wounded in three places. The letter we publish to day from a correspondent shows how Gen. Lane's brigade, composed of the 7th, S3d, and 37th bore itself in the late battles.

The list of the Villed and wounded must be large, as nearly all the Cld officers were either killed or wounded. Tbe 13th N. C. troops suffered severely, having lost in killed and wounded more than one-half carried into action. Among the wounded the follow-in officers are mentioned CoL A.

M. Scales, and Adjutant A. Walker; Lt J. M. Williamson, company A Lieut S.

Christie, Iverson brigade, went into action 454 strong, and lost 81 killed, 132 wounded, and 56 missing. The list of casualties in our next Gen. Ramseur writes that there are about five hundred wounded in his brigade. Many wounded, he says, but few killed. Kamseur's brigade consists cf the 2d, 14th, and 3oth N.

C. troops. We shall publish full lists of casualties in all the regiments as soon as they are received. We are gratified to state that Capt McCoy, with his guard, has been ordered away from the prison at Salisbury into service. The prison will be guarded hereafter by State militia.

Our representations to the Secretary of War in relation to this prison, have not been without effect We learn also that the regular troops in this State that have lcen guarding the bridges, have been ordered into active service, and that their places will be taken by militia. The Governor ha3 very prop- riy determined, in detailing the militia, in all cases to take them from the towns, and not from the farms. It will be seen by the Proclamation of Gov. Vance, in our paper to day, that he has continued for thirty days the prohibition on the exportation of certain articles from this State. The articles prohibited are as follows Bacon, lard, pork, beef, corn, meal, flour, wheit, potatoes, shoes, leather, hides, cotton cloth, and yarn and woolen cloth.

Death of Col. McDowell. We regret to have to record the death of Col. J. C.

S. McDowell, of the Sllh, from wounds received in the battle oi Fredericksburg. He was a good officer and a most worthy man. We invite attention to the advertisement of B. Duncan Lithographers, Columbia, S.

All state la" Mem may be briefly related t. uooEersrJrst objeo'" 'a nock above the t0 Bet in lho rer of f'reJ" erioksburg. IIis00 aim was to prevent a Hank, attack on tnu Confederates, who, be sup-, posed, would uwch up tha banks of river ti cut his arr at the fords. Hence, he determined to cross th'aPPahannock above the confluence with the rilaii, to inarch through a portion of Cul-peur, and passing the latter river at-Germanna utT Ely's, to keep bis coramunicalion behind him, the Rappahannock on his left Hank, and the Con federate armyjind Fredericksburg always in frout of liiin. On Tuesday week his troops were drawn up in full array on the bills of Stafford, in view of the town, pontoons thrown over, and strong detachment sent across, at Deep Run.

This first step was a mere feint to distract attention. Neat day bis army disappeared, and the detachment was withdrawn, while the main body passed the rivers above in the order stated. Still believing that Lee's onset would be made close to the river, and on his left flank, he rapidly strengthened that part of his line with field works, and then swung the rest forward to Chancellorsville. It'appears, however, from the dispatches of the Confedorate GenwaL, that his way ww not oa the ways of Hooker, nor wax bis attack unfile in the manner which Hooker had decided he should make it The Confederate operations were aimed at the right wing that reaching to Spotsylvania Court House of the Federals. Geny Jackson did flank them, after all but it was- the right flank-that nearest Richmond not tbe left flank, which-Hook-er -had carefully guarded with a river arid Held worka General Jackson appears to have turned the Yankee line somewhere beyond the Court House, and penetrating Co tire wilderness, a creek between Culpeper and Spotsylvania, got partly in their rear.

Attacked by the rest of the Confederates in front, while Jackson' corps came down from the wilder ness, the fiuest army on the planet, commanded, though it was, by General Judas Hooker, shortly defeated with great slaughter, dislodged from all the positions around Chancellors, doubled tip on itself and pressed down in confusion to the banks of the Rappahannock. In litis condition their rout and annihilation were nearly certain, could the attack have been continued as commenced. But the Confederate victory appears to. have been marred by the news from Fredericksburg. A part of the army, supposed to have been sufficient, had been put to guard the old heights back of the town.

Hooker had left a Urge force said to have been two full corps on the opposite hill, under an old regular officer, Geaeral Sedgwick by name, always bete, and commonly swimming in whiskey. What orders he had, whether to pass when the sound of cannon announced the engagement at Chancellorsville, or to wait till a message wis sent him, we do not yet know. It may be assumed, however, as certain that his important part in the play was to pass the river and carry the crest" if possible, while Lee had his hands fuH of Hooker, and then jsb upon bis rear. But such a man was sure not i'i come up in time. After a long delay, he crossed the river, and did actually get possession of Marye's ilill, as related by our correspondent Sedgwick was now in Lee's rear, and the event might have been fatal to that General, if Hooker had held his own in front But Hooker was already beaten, aud at that time helpless.

Lee, therefore, could turn on Sedgwick with safety. He did so, whipped him at once, sent him back to Stafford, and re-occupied Fredericksburg. ItiSi reported that he then went to finish Hooker. It was too late Tbe Yankee General had gotten bis beaten armr in a very defensible position, supported by the Rapidan and Rappahannock, and had erected strong works in front The Confederate General might well pause before he attacked him there without necessir Those who know tue character of those rivers need not be told that there is no necessity tojtttaqlt an army which depends on their fords for every particle of supply. It is possiblo to defend such a position as (hat which Hooker is said to have assumed but impossible to remain in it This is the season of heavy showers.

One of these converts those streams in an hour from insignificant creeks into terrible torrent, which would sweep off Pharoah's hast No pontoon could Jive a minute on its fl.iod. Hooker had the choice, to come out and fight forward, or get back to the Northern bank as soon as possible! As his army is a beaten army, wc were not surprised to. bear last night that be bad chosen the-latier alternative, and retreated while still able." The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer gives the following minute and interesting account of the several battles from tbe first movement of the' enemy below Fredericksburg on Wednesday evening. He says: 44 This movement can hardly be said to have been a feint It would be perhaps more proper to speak of it as a movement designed to co-operate with the main attack at Chancellorsville, or it is passible that this force was left in front of Fredericksburg to prevent a rear movement on our part, which, if successful, and the river once crossed by our troops, at a point nar town, their access to the railway could have been cut off, and their base of supplies rendered useless to them. To guard his rear and protect his base, the force, which aflewar.ls operated offensively, was at first intended to act defensively, in all probability.

How it afterwards acted on the offensive, and succeeded in carrying by 6torra Marye's Heights," can probably be explained by the fact that Hooker had been hard pressed and whipped in the fight of Saturday and Sunday morning at Chancellorsville, made this in order to create a diversion, and enable him to cover his retreat Chancellorsville having been the real point of battle it will.be the most fitting to treat of it first On Thursday evening Gen. Anderson, who was holding a position in front of the United States Mine Ford, twelve miles above Fredericksburg, ascertained that the Yankees, numbering five army corps, with at least eighty thousand men. croftsed the Rapidan at elly's and Germana Fords, having previously crossed the North Fork of the Rappahannock at Ely's Ford, in Culpepper1 county, and were advancing down the plankroad. General Anderson at once fell back to and took up a line of battle in front of the plankroad, and extending to the. river, and reaching over towards the old Catharine Furnace.

Gen. Anderson, however, having too small a force to hold the enemy at this point, fell back to a position some four miles below Chancellorsville, and fronting the old mine road. On Friday morning Gen. Anderson was re inforced on thp right by Gen. iicLaws, and on the left by Gen.

A. P. Hill. At this period Gen. Jackson took command, and ordered an advance, himself leading it, and succeeded during the day in drfving the enemy back, they making but Slight resistance.

On Friday night our forces rested fully two miles beyond the ground occupied by the Yan kee forces on the previous evening. The forces principally engaged thus far in this quarter, belonged to Semtnes' brigade, of McLaws' d.vision, and Mahone's brigade, of Aodcrson's division. Saturday morning wore away without important results. There was some artillery firing and a little skirmishing, but the engagement did not become general until about five o'cloxk in the afternoon, from which hour fhe fight raged furiously until about eight o'clock. Jackson, at this time, had thrown a force on their upper, flank, and was driving them fiercely down upon our lower line, which in turn, was hurling them, back, and rendering futile all their eflorU to break through our lower fines, and making it necessary for them to give back towards the river.

There was an interm! won in the firing from eight o'clock until about nine. But from nine until long past midnight the sound of artillery and-small arms was well nigh deafening. The explanation, was ready. Jackson -was pressing them with a fight Our bdya droT Yankee, who gtoutly unUl near day; and at early held ZXt the line, arid by elven o'clock tl flrfcg Jrccaaed. On the upper end of lower lino, near Fredericksburg, tVtey had succeeded in carrying Marye's Heights, and were rioting in the' wild excess of joy.

They had stormed, they said, the Uibralter of America, and their route to Richmond was rhftnd asy, little remeihlter-ing that they haf" coltfmn of fully ten thousand upon orrccT2A'. rAfront, and thus gaining the rear of theHesl of Barksdale'a brigade. But the best laid schemes of men and mice gang oft agree," and whilst the Yankees were (dictating themselves on their imagining theiiiFelves to be in the rear of our army, Oen. Lee was so maneuvering as to meet the enemy, who were now throwing themselves forwtrd from the town on the plank road. Abmrt four o'clock on Sunday evening, McLaw'a division, including Wilcox's brigade of Andeison'B division, met the advance eolamn of the Yankees, under Gen.

Sedgwick, at Salem Church, four miles beyond Fredericksburg, on the plank road, and ohr' fine of battlo was formed at right angles with -the pUnk road The battle here raged lor about two hours, but the Yankees were repulsed with considerable loss, including some five to six' hundred prisoners. Our line on the telegraph road, meantime, had. been formed at Smock's, about three and a half miles out from Early on Monday morning Law ton's old brigade, now Gen. Gordon's, supported by Gen. Smith's and Gen.

Hayes' all of Early's -division, advanced to wards Marye's Heights, and charged them without the firing of a gun, driving the enemy from a position from which less than twenty-four hours before he had dislodged Barksdale's gallant Mississippians, after a most heroio resistance, in which the enemy's loss was quite considerablb. In this onditim mat ters remained until about five o'clock in lire evening, when a general advance was ordered. At the firing of a signal gun, Genera! Early moved upon the enemy from the right, and Gen'i Anderson and McLaws from the left Tbe- enemy, who held a position on the plankroad extending op and down, were qnickly dislodged and driven with great loss from the field. Their resistance was slight Tbe charge was grand. Early's men, and especially tli) Louisi-anians, under Hayes, walked over the enemy as giants over pigmies, while from above, the men' of.

Anderson and Mcfaws, who had been -censtantry-marching and fighting for five days, showed no signs of relaxation, but wnrched boldly and fearlessly up to their appointed work. -The result was the enemy was driven in confusion towards B.inks' Ford, across which he succeeded in making his way during the night not, however, without serious loss in killed, wounded and prisoners. Gen. Hoke, of the North Carolina brigade, in Eirly's division, was wounded in this charge. Whilst this was going on, Barksdale's men were holding tbe stone wall, Marye's hill and the heights coinmading the plankroad, so ai to prevent a movement on our rear out from Fredericksburg.

But this waa h.irdly necessary. Yankee, desire for a general advance had been satisfied, and by nightfall the the Yankees had begun to prepare for the third and last time to evacuate Fredericksburg and by day break bur pickets were in the town, which is once again in the hands of trksdale's men. Though the enemy at Cancellorsvillo did not re-cross the river at the United States ford until to day, there has been no general engagement since Sunday only some occasional skirmishing and feints of attack to cover up their retreat across the river. Hooker, though having the choice oi position, did -not act offensively after crossingbut fortified and threw, himself on the defensive, thus forcing our men to contend against him in this fight against vastly superior numbers, aide-! by breastworks, fortifications and obstructions of all sorts. But they were of little avail Jackson turned their flmk and fell upon their rear.

And Jackson's boys did their work with all their might and main. They charged faster over the battle field than they marched to it, and their cheering as they drove the enemy before them broke upon the air with fine, inspiring effect, and told too plainly that our men were terribly in earnest and were fighting for home, lor woman, manhood and independence, hi such a cause it were worse than base not to strike heavy blows for freedom and the right Hooker expected success. He had planned well but General Lee has proved himself more than a match for him, and his splendid a-my now lies a pnrt dead on the south side of the Rappahannock, a part wounded Oil its north bank, and some here, too, and a laore part of the advance is already near your city. Hooker bad drawn every man from the fortifications, and camo prepared with eight days rations eight diys hard tack; three days cooked meat ami eight days cattle in a herd and eight days coffue. Hooker made his men a speech, telling tlicin ho ha-i adantagu of position and was bound to go forward all that he asked of-thctn was to fijrht He had summoned every man from the forlitk-ations, and had uncovered Washington, and must havu, put into the fight from first to last, not a man under one hundred and Lilly thousand.

The bravery, fortitude and endurance of our men in all of these engagements cannot bo too highly praised or too gratefully remembered by the country. It "would seem invidious to make special allusions where all fought so well, but it is due to candor and truth to say that the troops of McLaws and Anderson were ofiencr engaged than any other troops, they being engaged in fighting and marching almost without intermission for re -it or refreshment, fr-Mu Thursday night until Tuesday morning, a period four days and nights. While ta D. H. Hill's old division, commanded by Gen.

Rhodes, and Trimble's divUion, led by Gen. Colston, Eirly's division, led by Eirly himself, and A. P. Hill's men under their favorite leader, the country is indebted. The cavalry, too, claim a chare of this glorious work, for while the infantry were thus being engaged, one brigade under Fitzhugh Lee met the" enemy near Spotsylvania Court House and succeeded in whipping and driving back to Chancellorsville, certiinly two brigides of cavalry, and perhaps four, killing the Colonel of the bth N.

Y. Cavalry and two Captains, and taking some sixty prisoners. The battle field, which reaches from Fredericksburg to a point above Wilderness, some twelve miles up from town, and out to the river, with lho exception of about two miles between Salem and ar churches, Lttests the skilful aiming and deadly destruction of our artillery. The Yankee dead and wounded are strewn over the entire country. Yet had it not have been one of tbe most thickly wooded sections of land in Virginia, the Yankee loss would have been far greater.

Over this same field of battle, are scattered, in immense quantities, blankets, overcoats, canteens, knapsacks, haversacks, cartridge boxrs, and any qnantity of rifles, and various other equipments of the soldier. boys, however, found but little to eat. The Yankees had well nigh do voured the commissariat, still a good quantity of hard tack, with some good cooked meats and coffee, were found, in the Yankee haversacks. We also ciptured some frcsbly slaughtered meats, and some corn and oats; all of which are quite valuable, ard just the articles we needed. Fredericksburg, on lhi3 occasion, did not suffer severely as sho did before, though the Yankees managed to steal a good deal Private houses, I bSlieve, were in no instance entered, where the families were present, and the town was not shelled, nor were any citizens arrested or carried off in tho town.

A few were arrested outside, but in every instance I believe, they were rescued by our own soldiery. Honker commanded in person at the Chancellorsville fight, and occupied a position near that place during the fight Hooker has made a good light He has well, and done better than any other Yankee Geral but Hooker is not the equal of our couimaiider-in chief. Gen. Lee; during this light, has the highest qualities of an able and successful commander. To him the country is indebted for the most wonderful qualities of the soldier and tactician.

Under trying vicissitudes of heat and storm you attacked the enemy, strongly entrenched in tho jplbs of a tangled wilderness, and again on the hiils of Fredericksburg, fifteen miles distant, and. by the valor that has triumphed on so many fields, forced him once more to seek Bui'ety beyond tho Rappahannock.

The following letter from the President of the Confederate States is communicated to the army as an expression of his appreciation of its success.

I have received your dispatch, and reverently unite with you in giving praise to God for the success with which He has crowned our arms. "In the name of the people, I offer my cordial thanks to yourself and tbe troops under your mand for this addition to the unprecedented series of great victories which your armv has achieved.

The Examiner gives the following approximate estimate of the losses on cither side in tho recent battles. Confederate loss Wounded 7,010 Killed Missing 000 1,200 Total, 9,100 This estimate is liberal, and it is believed that our actual loss will prove much smaller. It is gratifying to know that most of our wounded are but shghtly injured, the number of flesh wounds in arm and hnd greatly preponderating over those of a graver nature.

The enemy's loss is variously estimated at from twenty to thirty thousand killed, wounded and prisoners. Of the latter we ive taken from seven to ten thousand. We have captured fifty odd pieces of artillery, and more than 30,000 stand of small arms. Our army is being reinforced either for a forward movement or to repel an adv incc of the enemy, who is also receiving heavy reinforcements. UTEST NEWS.

From the West. The Yankees have been driven from Tupelo, Mississippi. Battles are regarded as imminent at Vicksburg and Tullahoma. A pressdispatch from the latter place states that Gen. Earl Van Dorn was killed at Columbia on the 7 th, by a Dr.

Peters. From the North. Vallandigham has ben arrested at Cincinnati, and is strongly guarded at the Burnet House. An attempt to arrest him had proved abortive. "Subsequent advices state that he has been tried by court martial, hut its decision had not transpired.

The York World of the Xth, acknowledges Hooker's defeat and his retreat to the North bank. It says Lee's being heavily reinforced again prevented a victoro. Sedgwick's retreat began at midnight, but was discovored by the Rebels who played horrible havoc oh the pontoons, killing and, wounding a Urge ndrnber. It also saya that Hooker has been outgeneralled and outfought It also says that Hcintzelman is on his way 'to Hooker with thirty thousand fresh troops, and eighteen thousand are coming from another quarter, probablyuffolk. Among the Yankee killed were Gen.

Mott, of Massachusetts, Gen. Barry, of Maine, and General Schaenliefieng of the Fourteenth Army Corps Their loss in field and company officers of lower grade is very heavy. Lincoln has called out the militia to crush the rebellion. An official order from Staoton states that the President has just returned from -the amy, and reports no serious disaster to its organization or efficiency. It is pretended that but a third of Hooker's force was engaged.

Other papers denounce the Eleventh Army Corps as poltroons for throwing down their.arms andrun-ning from Rhodes brigade. They represent the night attack made by Jackson as the most brilliant action of the war. The rebels, tbey say, threw themselves on the muzzles of their guns. Their ammunition gave out (of course 1) but they held their position one hour with the bayonet and then fell back in good order on Chancellorsville. Gen.
